Meeting the Teacher Leaders and visiting Azalea is an important step in our enrollment process. We feel it is important to connect the family, child, teachers, and environment to create an intentional and meaningful community.

Affording Azalea Montessori
​
At Azalea Montessori School we believe educational opportunities should be available to families in our community regardless of financial means. Our goal is to create sustainable pathways that provide at least 30 percent or more of our school population with tuition assistance based on financial need.
​
We participate in the Publicly Funded Child Care program offered through Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services. Information about the program and eligibility requirements can be found here: ODJFS Child Care information.
​
We are a provider of the Ed Choice Scholarships from the Ohio Department of Education. More information on the program and eligibility requirements can be found here: Ed Choice Scholarship Eligibility

Tuition Rates
Our 2024-2025 primary full day tuition rate is $8,295 which is consistent with other private Montessori schools in the area.
We have a small number of part-time spots available both in the Montessori classroom and in Azalea Grows, our Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings-only outdoor program.
The cost of 2/days/week (full days) is $3,484
The cost of 3 days/week (full days) is $5,500
The Azalea Grows rate is $3,465
​
After care is offered from 3:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tuition is $8 per hour of use.
The tuition rate for Azalea is intended to be an “all inclusive” rate and we do not add required extra fees or additional donations on top of the tuition rate. Financial transparency is important to us, so please know that whatever the tuition rate, it will be the true cost of educating your child.
We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected to each other to form one whole unity.
- Dr. Maria Montessori
